What a page turner, or whatever the millennial humans would call this. This essay was impeccable in its honesty and vulnerability. I'm sure it was a challenge to remove the dopamine inducing snark, but this essay stands as a unique snark-light view into...well a window of our online/offline worlds.

it's heeeeeere, you may now read my essay about how i achieved the millennial dream of home ownership and immediately lost my mind on nextdoor. thanks to the @oaklandreviewofbooks.org crew for their ongoing support of me being Like This

So proud to see our Ashish Rajurkar’s work featured on this cover! He developed ClearDepthIAS, a scalable, non-destructive platform combining 360° infrared imaging and deep learning to quantify root system architecture in soil-grown crops. Check it out academic.oup.com/plphys/advan... #PlantSci

ClearDepthIAS enables automated high-throughput quantification of roots in soil-grown taproot crops

How long do polarity proteins and their partners survive as a neuron prepares to migrate? Liam Hallada has answers today at the Neural Development GRC poster 13. Using a HaloTag pulse-chase imaging strategy he maps protein stability with spatial resolution in and around cell adhesions!

1/8 Breathing seems automatic. But it's a finely tuned motor behavior that has to be controlled. In this preprint, I map the circuits that match a fly's respiration to the metabolic demands of flight and mitigate the risk of dehydration. 🧵🪰 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d ago

People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

So the US Secretary of Health and Human Services just claimed not only COVID-19 but 'many other global pandemics' started from gain-of-function research, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) outbreaks and Lyme disease. This is deeply irresponsible. There is not a shred of evidence for this.
